Accel World - 07


Is Aqua Current's avatar supposed to be a weasel?  Ferret?  Groundhog?  Whatever it is, it's cute!  I especially like her glasses.

 

As Haru and Aqua duel it out in order to increase his points, Taku and Hime also have their own battle.  It was interesting how the anime chose to parallel the two battles.  In the first, Haru believes he can't lose because he and Taku just started over as friends, and he wants to keep fighting with him.  In the second, Taku wants to atone for his sins by helping Haru leveling up and then uninstalling Brain Burst.  As Hime put it, Taku is ignoring Haru's wishes by doing so, and therefore not really atoning at all.  I'm glad that Hime was able to knock some sense into him, and in doing so, made him realize that what he wants is to be with his friends as fully as they are with him.

What happens after the battle with Haru and Aqua was interesting, mostly because of the way it ended.  I don't know if I quite understand why Aqua challenged Haru to a duel after they won the battle.  Was it to see if he's worthy of the points she just helped him win back?  Or was it just a prank?  Even more interesting were her words that they weren't supposed to meet yet, and then the memory erasing that occurred afterwards.  It seems like she already knows they'll meet again in the future.  Or she's just trying to protect her identity.
